My Review of The Elephant Man

I thought the Elephant Man was an amazing movie because John Merrick was a beautiful person despite how he looked on the outside. Even though he was a terrifying person I really liked how the first reaction Dr. Frederick Treeves has when he first laid eyes on Merrick was that he shed a tear.  Anyone else who saw John Merrick for the first time is that they either screamed in terror or they pointed and laughed, however his very good friend Dr. Frederick Treeves felt his pain the very first time that he laid eyes on John.   Another thing that compelled me even more to this movie was that John Merrick had the innocence of a child, and this struck into the appeal of most of the audience because in the movie an innocent child was being abused and laughed at for the way he looked. Either way this movie was amazing because we see how the people change in it, John Merrick was at first terrified of the world and the people in it, but towards the end of the movie he builds up the courage to tell him that he in not an animal but a human being just like they are, that part was the most compelling and moving scene of the whole movie.
